Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 1 cup Napa cabbage
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp White pepper
- 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Finely chop the Napa cabbage and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess water using your hands or a clean towel.
Mince the green onions, garlic, and ginger, then add them to a large bowl along with the squeezed cabbage.
Add the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to the bowl. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until the filling is well-combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger or a small brush, and fold it in half to create a half-moon shape. Press tightly to seal, then create pleats along the edges, if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Arrange the dumplings in a single layer in the skillet, flat side down. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, then immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for another 5–6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Serve the pot stickers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a splash of vinegar and chili oil.
